Singapore 2014 budget development expenditure

This is my next attempt at making sense of Singapore’s 2014 budget. The graphic shows the top 500 development expenditures. You can use the listbox to select a particular ministry. On non-touch devices (laptop, desktop) you can see tooltips.

In Singapore’s budget there are two types of expenditure – development and operating. ‘Operating’ is the expenditure to run the business, e.g., salaries, administrative costs. ‘Development’ is the investment in equipment or new projects. Note that the difference between operating and development expenditure is not straight-forward. Some ministries, like transport, have higher development expenditure than others.
